AI-native companies reportedly churning from Fireworks to Baseten after security incident

@rlenv claims every AI-native company he talked to in the past week is churning off Fireworks to Baseten, following a Fireworks security incident and its response.
Meryem Arik, a founder at a competing inference provider, commented as a rival to both: Fireworks appears to be taking the security response seriously, and Baseten's own security record isn't flawless. She sees no good reason for the mass exodus unless Fireworks' response broke trust or lacked transparency.
The episode highlights how fragile trust is in the inference-serving market: one security incident can trigger batch customer churn while competitors openly poach.
